{#sol15} stories 26/31


The March Slice of Life Story Challenge
hosted at the Two Writing Teachers
Join us for a month of writing!
Yesterday was a busy day full of slicing story opportunities ...

A trip to the big city 
to visit the quaint Apollo Theatre 
to watch the phenomenal Elephant & Piggie Show.
Impressed with the production!
A trip to the local library
to pick up more Elephant & Piggie books
to reread, remember the show, and laugh again.
Disappointed with no books available!


A trip to The Tap House Grill
to have a dinner date night out
to connect and talk life with my hubby.
Satisfied with sharing a delicious meal (and dessert).


A trip to Feed My Starving Children
to volunteer with our church family
to pack meals to nourish hungry children.
Fulfilled with helping in a little way.


A trip to my comfortable bed
to thinking about all the memories
to dream about our busy, exciting day.
Relaxed with sleep even without a slice written for today.

Yesterday was a busy day full of slicing story opportunities ...

I would highly recommend the Elephant & Piggie Show!  It was amazingly fantastic and entertaining.  Elephant & Piggie and their books came to life on stage -- singing, dancing, and lots of laughing!

    You are speaking of one day, right? Amazing how many trips you made. I like that you included a trip to your bed also.

    What a full day it was! I need to think of my daily movements as trips. Might make them more fun.

    Oh my gosh. I wonder if the Elephant and Piggy show is coming to Denver! Our first grade is doing an Mo Willems author study and they love, love, love Gerald and Piggy. Sounds like you had a fantabulous day!

Picture Books I Love Right Now! #pb10for10

Check out other favorite Picture Book Lists #pb10for10 ______________________________________________________________ As we finish up our summer #cyberPD conversations, I'm quickly reminded that August is right around the corner and I need to start thinking about my picture book list to share. Ten books I love. Ten books I want to share. Ten books that I can't live without in my classroom. Ten books. I love coming up with lists of picture books I adore for various reasons. However, this year I came up with the most brilliant idea! (Well, at least I thought it was brilliant!)  Here are the picture books I can't live without  ... because these are the LAST 10(+3)  picture books I most recently purchased!  ______________________________________________________________ 1.  If I Built a School   by Chris Van Dusen My daughters read If I Built a House and If I Built a Car over and over and over.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

I love sharing book titles with close friends, so I'm happy you are here! I want to share a book that you must add to your to-be-read list. Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth. There are many professional development books available to learn about mastering our craft of teaching.   However, there are only a few that make a true impact -- and this is one book that weaves raw truth, research, practical ideas, and story all in one {cute} little package.  In  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers , Ruth allows her worlds to collide during the creation:  "In this book, I entwine my three story lines as educator, momma, and writer." (p. 6) And she does this in an amazing way through sharing stories of her family, adoption, children living in hard places -- and doing their best  -- and healing. She shares how we can use research ...
